Hi,
On the topic of publication-quality 3D vector graphics (but unfortunately
not matplotlib...):
I like Sketch. Although a bit old by now, you can still get it from
sketch4latex.sourceforge.net. It has a bit of a learning curve (similar to
TikZ) but is nice for basic 3D plots.
I even used it to make a very basic vector animation viewable with Adobe
Acrobat Reader (see slide 16 of the presentation at
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/ban115/conferences/CALIM2014/talks/day3/calim2014_schwardt.pdf
- will send source if interested).
Good luck,
Ludwig
